Key features

• 💵 Structured pricing: structured currency on every product — numbers you can sort and compare without parsing price text.
• 🚗 Vehicle details: year, make, model and fuelType on each product as separate fields.
• 🖼️ Images: imageUrl on every product, ready for a catalog or a feed.
• 🔍 Keyword search: search iaai.com by keyword with the query input, in the place you name in location.
• 🔗 Paste-mode: paste iaai.com URLs into startUrls to scrape exactly the pages you picked in the browser.
• 🗂️ Category filter: narrow a run to one category with the categories input.
• ♻️ Incremental mode: daily runs emit only listings that are new or whose price/condition changed since last run. Perfect for inventory-diff dashboards and competitive pricing alerts. Saves 80–95% on recurring monitoring.
• 🔔 Notifications: telegram / Slack / Discord / WhatsApp / webhook alerts on each run. Combine with incremental to ping only when prices or inventory actually move.
• 📦 Compact mode: light payload with core fields only — comparable rows across listings without HTML or metadata overhead. Perfect for pricing dashboards.
• 🔌 MCP connectors: export your results into Notion via Apify's MCP connectors — a clean run-summary page, no glue code. Opt-in via the App connector field; deterministic field-mapping, no AI. Built on Apify's connector framework, so more destinations open up as their catalog grows.
• 📌 Change classification: each record carries a changeType of NEW / UPDATED / UNCHANGED / REAPPEARED / EXPIRED. Default emits NEW + UPDATED + REAPPEARED; opt into the others with emitUnchanged / emitExpired.

What data can you extract from iaai.com?

Each result includes Core product fields (listingId, id, inventoryId, stockNumber, lotUrl, portalUrl, tenant, and title, and more) and extended fields (detailFetched). In standard mode, all fields are always present — unavailable data points are returned as null, never omitted. In compact mode, only core fields are returned.

Input

The main inputs are a search keyword, an optional location filter, and a result limit. Additional filters and options are available in the input schema.

Key parameters:

• query — What to search for — a make, model, VIN, stock number or free text (e.g. "toyota", "2019 ford f-150"). Use a JSON array for several searches in one run. To browse all current inventory, enable Browse everything instead of leaving this empty.
• location — Optional US ZIP code to centre the search on. Leave empty to search every branch nationwide.
• browseAll — Return the whole current inventory, newest auctions first. Only used when no start URL, category, make or search term is given. Combine with Max Results. (default: false)
• categories — Browse one or more vehicle categories. Combine with Makes to narrow down; Makes without a category means Cars. Replaces the search term; Start URLs take precedence over this field. (default: [])
• makes — Vehicle makes to browse (e.g. Toyota, Ford). Applied inside each selected category; with no category, Cars is used. (default: [])
• maxResults — Maximum total results (0 = unlimited). (default: 100)
• startUrls — Paste iaai.com pages: a search link (Search?Keyword=… with optional ZipCode/miles, or a shared Search?url=… link), a category page (Vehiclelisting/Cars/Ford) or a single lot page (VehicleDetail/46671078~US). Each URL becomes its own task; results are merged and deduped by lot across all URLs. When provided, startUrls REPLACE the category/query/location fields (a shared Search?url=… link keeps its make, ZIP code, radius and sort order; a URL with a search filter the scraper cannot apply stops the run with an input error instead of returning broader results; unsupported page types are skipped, and if none is supported the run stops with an input error). (default: [])
• compact — Core fields only — vehicle, VIN, damage, branch, ACV and sale date (for AI-agent/MCP workflows). (default: false)
• excludeEmptyFields — Drop null, empty-string, and empty-array fields from each record before push. Smaller payloads for AI agents and dashboards. (default: false)
• incrementalMode — Compare against previous run state. stateKey is optional — defaults to a value derived from search inputs (queries, ZIP codes, startUrls) so different filter sets never share state. (default: false)
• stateKey — Optional. Stable identifier for the tracked search universe. Leave empty to auto-generate from search inputs.
• skipReposts — When incremental, skip listings whose content matches an expired listing from a prior run (cross-run duplicate detection). (default: false)
• ...and 17 more parameters

Input examples

Basic search — Keyword-driven search with a result cap.

→ Full payload per result — all standard fields populated where the source provides them.

{
  "query": "toyota",
  "maxResults": 50
}

Incremental tracking — Only emit products that changed since the previous run with this stateKey.

→ First run builds the baseline state. Subsequent runs emit only records that are new or whose tracked content changed. Set emitUnchanged: true to include unchanged records as well.

{
  "query": "toyota",
  "maxResults": 200,
  "incrementalMode": true,
  "stateKey": "toyota-tracker"
}

Compact output for AI agents — Return only core fields for AI-agent and MCP workflows.

→ Small payload with the most important fields — ideal for piping into LLMs without token overhead.

{
  "query": "toyota",
  "maxResults": 50,
  "compact": true
}

Output

Each run produces a dataset of structured product records. Results can be downloaded as JSON, CSV, or Excel from the Dataset tab in Apify Console.

Incremental fields

When incremental mode is on, each record also carries:

• changeType — one of NEW, UPDATED, UNCHANGED, REAPPEARED, EXPIRED. Default output covers NEW / UPDATED / REAPPEARED; set emitUnchanged: true or emitExpired: true to opt into the others.
• isRepost, repostOfId, repostDetectedAt — populated when a new listing matches the tracked content of a previously expired one. Set skipReposts: true to drop detected reposts from the output.

How much does it cost to scrape iaai.com?

IAA Salvage Auction Scraper uses pay-per-event pricing. You pay a small fee when the run starts and then for each result that is actually produced.

• Run start: $0.00045 per run
• Per result: $0.00072 per product record

Example costs:

• 10 results: $0.00765
• 25 results: $0.018
• 100 results: $0.072
• 200 results: $0.14
• 500 results: $0.36

Example: recurring monitoring savings

These examples compare full re-scrapes with incremental runs at different churn rates. Churn is the share of products that are new or whose tracked content changed since the previous run. Actual churn depends on your query breadth, source activity, and polling frequency — the scenarios below are examples, not predictions.

Example setup: 250 products per run, daily polling (30 runs/month). Costs scale linearly with the number of products.

Churn rate	Full re-scrape run cost	Incremental run cost	Savings vs full re-scrape	Monthly cost after baseline
5% — stable niche query	$0.18	$0.00945	$0.17 (95%)	$0.28
15% — moderate broad query	$0.18	$0.03	$0.15 (85%)	$0.82
30% — high-volume aggregator	$0.18	$0.05	$0.13 (70%)	$1.63

Full re-scrape monthly cost at the same cadence: $5.41. First month with incremental costs $0.45 / $0.98 / $1.76 for the 5% / 15% / 30% scenarios because the first run builds baseline state at full cost before incremental savings apply.

Platform usage is included in the per-result fee shown above.
